Hi Sumit,

There doesn't seem to be a focus event for the TextField control (atleast going by the documentation), so it is probably not exposed by the framework.

As a workaround, you could try this jQuery snippet :

$("#" + id).on("focus", function() {
     .. your focus handler code..
     ..
     ..
}

And replace "id" with the ID of the TextField you're using. Also note, that this snippet should be executed only AFTER the TextField has been rendered on the screen.

Hi,

Use method focus()
